performative cruelty

Putting on a show of belittling, bullying and/or humiliating someone outside of an in-group for the purposes of placating or entertaining those within the group. Usually done to present oneself as "badass" or "hardcore".

In an age of performative cruelty,

kindness is punk as fuck.
Be punk as fuck.

People, Process and Product.

These are Essential Elements towards Achievement and Sustainment of Performance Excellence

Performative Liberalism

When someone tries so hard to look liberal that it starts feeling like a performance art piece. Usually involves flexing their “wokeness” at every opportunity, treating social justice like a competition, and making sure everyone knows they’re the most progressive person in the room.

They’ll post endless photos with marginalized groups (but only for the optics), brag about their “diverse friend group,” and side-eye anyone who doesn’t speak in the latest approved vocabulary. It’s less about genuine empathy and more about getting liberal points.

Did you see Amy call me a radical republican? All I said was I don’t want to call Emily a cat. She even posted about it in her story. She is definition performative liberalism!

Peak Performance

Have you ever seen someone effortlessly achieve something that feels totally out of reach for you? Like, they're making it look easy while you're struggling just to get started? That's peak performance. It's when someone is absolutely crushing it, operating on a level that seems almost superhuman.

This phenomenon isn't limited to real life!
In the world of video games, peak performance can feel like pulling off an insane move that makes you look like a pro gamer. It's like channeling the superpowers of your favorite character and dominating the competition.

You after scrolling through Instagram for an hour: feeling like a slug; Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson crushing a workout while filming a movie and building a business empire. Peak performance unlocked.
